Grand Rapids is the perfect summer getaway for your family. Even though it’s only a three-hour drive from the bustling Twin Cities, it will feel like you entered a whole new world of outdoor adventure or, if you choose, rest and relaxation. With activities ranging from shopping to golfing to fishing on one of the thousands of local lakes, you’ll never be bored. And at any one time, there are always plenty of cultural activities going on, like the upcoming Wizard of Oz Festival, which marks the 75th anniversary of the beloved classic movie starring Judy Garland, a Grand Rapids native.
